As a more unconventional addition to Medicom Toy’s wide selection of collaborative Bearbrick designs, the famed Japanese toy house has come together with American rock band Grateful Dead on a 100% and 1000% “Dancing Bears” edition.

Paying homage to Bob Thomas’ original design that appeared on the reverse of the band’s History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear’s Choice) album. Rendered in a series of banded colors running throughout its design, the “Dancing Bears” Bearbricks are now available from Medicom Toy for ￥1,600 JPY (approximately $14 USD) and ￥36,000 JPY (approximately $307 USD) respectively.

With the highly anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film set to hit theaters next March, Medicom Toy has unveiled a set of 100% Bearbricks to get fans excited for the forthcoming release.

Featuring Superman in his modernized hero suit and an armored Batman, each figure measures in at the standard 7 cm size. The Dawn of Justice pack comes with both Bearbricks as a set and retails for ¥3,000 JYP (approximately $25 USD).

Japanese toy manufacturer Medicom Toy has launched a collectible inspired by Banksy’s iconic Flower Bomber stencil. After teasing a prototype at its annual Tokyo exhibition in June, the figurine has been produced for retail.

Designed by PERFECT-STUDIO, the toy is constructed of polystone and stands at 360 mm tall. The finished product slightly varies from the all-white prototype seen in the exhibit with bright colors being added to just the flowers — mirroring the tone of the original artwork.

Pre-orders for the piece are available now through January 10 at Medicom Toy’s online store, with shipping slated for May 2016.

Fresh off the release of the Ron English and Mark Dean Veca-designed figures, Kidrobot is back at it — this time with a spicy take on its signature Dunny.

Designed by Los Angeles-based visual artist Sket One — who previously decorated Medicom Toy’s Bearbrick in the Huy Fong Foods motif — the three-inch-tall figure is transformed into a sriracha bottle and will come in two variations: “full” and “empty.”

Pop culture toy company Medicom has turned its attention to Marvel antihero epic Deadpool, with these two classic toy iterations. Featuring Deadpool in his iconic red and black regalia, there’s also an X-Force version, that comes in white and black with red eye detailing.

Highly collectible and soon available for around $67 USD here, the toys go on sale from October 4.

The ’60s are alive with this new release from pop culture toy company Medicom Toy, featuring American artist Andy Warhol. The figure cleverly showcases Andy’s faultless style from the 1960s, complete with his signature shades, leather jacket, faded jeans and brown leather shoes.

Available in both 400% and 1000% sizes, Andy will be available for pre-order within Japan starting July 24 to August 10, for approximately $75 USD and $290 USD respectively.
